Group Clinics

More time with a clinician, the chance to hear how other people manage the same thing, and a clear plan to take away.

Group Clinics

Specialist support from a trained facilitator

A group consultation brings together a small number of patients with similar health needs for one appointment, led by a GP or specialist clinician and supported by a trained facilitator.

You’ll get more time than a typical appointment, hear how other people manage similar symptoms, and still have a private conversation with your clinician about your own results and treatment.

If a group session isn’t right for you, a one-to-one appointment is always available instead – just let us know.

How it works

  • Welcome and introductions: meet the group and the team running your session.
  • Look at your results together: see how your own results compare with healthy ranges.
  • Raise your questions: bring up anything you'd like to ask before the clinical discussion.
  • Time with your clinician: a private one-to-one conversation about your own care.
  • Agree your next steps: leave with a clear, personal plan.
  • Tell us what you thought: quick feedback to help us improve future sessions.

Sessions run for around 90 minutes, face to face, at your local practice.

Why group consultations can work for you

  • Completely confidential: everyone in the room agrees to keep what's shared private. Your own results are only ever discussed one-to-one with your clinician.
  • Led by clinicians: every session is run by a GP or specialist nurse, supported by a facilitator trained in group consultations.
  • Part of a national programme: Wakefield is one of seven pilot sites nationally for NHS England's Women's Health Centre of Excellence.
  • Areas we cover: We're building this up one area at a time. Menopause is our first pathway — more will be added here as they launch.

How do you join a group clinic?

  • Most people are invited directly by their GP practice by text message
  • Prefer a one-to-one instead? Just let us know when you're invited.

Group Clinic FAQs

Only what you choose to share. Your individual results and treatment are always discussed privately with your clinician during the session, not in front of the group.

That’s fine. Let your practice know and a one-to-one appointment will be arranged for you instead.

Around 90 minutes in total, including your own one-to-one time with the clinician.

We’ll tell you in advance if there’s anything to bring or note down, such as symptoms you’ve noticed.
